Toronto is the proud home of what is now officially recognized as the World's Biggest Christmas Stocking.

The stocking's final length was measured at 27.46 metres (90 feet 1 inch) long and 11.3 metres (37 feet 1 inch) wide (heel to toe), shattering the old record established on Jan. 11, 2006 by shoppers and staff of the MetroCentre in Gateshead, UK which measured 19.25 metres (63 feet 2 inches) long and 8.23 metres (27 feet) wide (heel to toe).

I would LOVE one of those stockings! I settled for a much funkier yet smaller version when I got one for my niece yesterday (http://www.brightandbold.com/youdeitchst.html), which is probably good, because I don't think I could afford the St. Nick goodies for the one in Toronto! Thanks for sharing!
